A relaxing weekend

Monday, July 31st, 2006

We were back at my parents house this weekend where we were meant to be meeting up with my best-man and his wife who we’ve not seen for AGES. Unfortunately their car broke down and the whole thing fell apart and never happened. It meant it turned into a very restful and relaxing weekend. I […]

Time for an update

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Ok, I know, it’s about a week now and I’ve not added anything to my VOX. To be honest I’m struggling to know what to write. Not for lack of ideas or thoughts, but because of too many. I guess that’s better than having nothing to stay, but doesn’t necessarily leave me any better off […]

Two months on

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

I can’t believe that two months have now passed since we first arrived in Los Angeles. How time flies. We have such fond memories from our two weeks in sunny California. We met so many amazing people and made lots of new friends. It was awesome to be part of the International Mentoring Network and […]

My eight years of lying

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

It was a nice summer’s day back in 1988 and I’d spent the afternoon playing in our garden with my friend Ian Smart. As you do when you’re ten years old, you end up playing with endless games and - of course - not putting them away afterwards. And so there were cricket bats, footballs, […]

Gutted

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

Well it’s all over. England lost in the quarter-finals for the third successive major tournament. And it was on penalties. Again.
